A JTextArea is a multi-line area that displays text.

With JScrollPane, it's easy to be a scrollable text area, for example:

var ta:JTextArea = new JTextArea();
var sp:JScrollPane = new JScrollPane(ta);

var columns:Int

A number of columns in this JTextArea, if it changed then call parent to do layout.

If columns is set to zero or min than zero, the preferred width will be matched just to view all of the text.

var horizontalBlockIncrement:Int

The block value for the Horizontal scrolling.

var horizontalUnitIncrement:Int

Returns the unit value for the Horizontal scrolling.

var rows:Int

A number of rows in this JTextArea, if it changed then call parent to do layout.

If rows is set to zero or min than zero, the preferred height will be matched just to view all of the text.

var verticalBlockIncrement:Int

The block value for the Vertical scrolling.

var verticalUnitIncrement:Int

The unit value for the Vertical scrolling.

var viewPosition:IntPoint

The view's position.

It returns (0,0) if view is null.

@see setViewPosition to set view position loudly (to trigger events). @see Viewportable.setViewPosition

function addStateListener(listener:Dynamic ->Void?priority:Int = 0, ?useWeakReference:Bool = false): Void

Add a listener to listen the viewpoat state change event.

When the viewpoat's state changed, the state is all about:

  • viewPosition
  • verticalUnitIncrement
  • verticalBlockIncrement
  • horizontalUnitIncrement
  • horizontalBlockIncrement
@see org.aswing.event.InteractiveEvent#STATE_CHANGED

listener

the listener

priority

the priority

useWeakReference

Determines whether the reference to the listener is strong or weak.
